Yes. Jefferson had read Locke and studied his ideas so he used them in the Declaration.
Voltaire, Rousseau, and Locke influenced Britain and America's rights promises through their ideas on individual rights, freedom of speech, and the social contract theory. Locke's concept of natural rights and government by consent influenced the Declaration of Independence and the U.S. Constitution. Voltaire and Rousseau's writings on freedom of thought and expression influenced ideas of religious tolerance and free speech in both countries.
The philosophies inspired the American and French revolutions.
